Billy Boone Book

I picked this book up because the blurb sounded interesting, but the main character and the cussing annoyed me to no end. I don't understand why it was necessary to drop the f-bomb every two pages. The main character(Katy)was excessivly annoying and a bit on the naive side. I'm not saying that to be mean but she acted like a total brat through most of the book. I could get that she wasn't happy about hanging out in LA with her punk rocker dad(Rat) who she hasn't been close to. She's pretty much the opposite of everything her dad and the people he hangs out are, so obviously it would be hard. I think that she was too hard on the Rat considering he was trying so hard. She could've given him more of a chance at the beginning. Katy complains through almost the whole book, not until the end do you start to see her really lighten up. I have to give the author credit for not making Katy go through a huge transformation for the sake of the story. It kept me interested enough to finish the book and I kinda liked the resolution(I thought the manifesto thing was good, probably the best part of the book). I just didn't like almost all of the characters. I understand that I'm probably not this books main audience since I'm not into punk or the music scene so someone who is a fan of these will definitely get more out this books than me.
